Issue #18286 has been updated by ccaviness (Clay Caviness). https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/7367 fixes this, and just needs to be merged. ---------------------------------------- Bug #18286: Universal arm64/x86_84 binary built on an x86_64 machine segfaults/is killed on arm64 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18286#change-104714 * Author: ccaviness (Clay Caviness) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: 3.0.2 * Backport: 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- A universal arm64/x86_84 ruby binary for macOS built on a x86_64 machine segfaults/is killed when executed on an arm64 machine. To reproduce: * On an Intel Mac: `git clone https://github.com/ruby/ruby && cd ruby && git checkout v3_0_2 && ./autogen.sh && ./configure --with-arch=arm64,x86_64 && make -j$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu)` * Copy the built `./ruby` binary to an Apple Silicon machine * Attempt to execute it Expected: The universal `ruby` binary works correctly on both devices Actual: The universal `ruby` binary crashes with either `Segmentation fault: 11` or `Killed: 9` (this seems to occur if `arm64e` is used instead of `arm64`). Details: I'm attempting to build a universal Ruby for macOS that will run on both Intel (x86_64) and Apple Silicon (arm64) machines. It seemed initially that this was as easy as adding `--with-arch=arm64,x86_64` to `./configure` would do it, as it produced a `ruby` binary that reports as `Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64] [arm64]` This `ruby` works correctly on the Intel machine I built in on, but does not work when copied to an Apple Silicon device. The reverse, however, seems to work. That is, if I build the universal ruby on an Apple Silicon machine, the `ruby` binary that's built seems to work correctly on both Intel and Apple Silicon machines. Intel: ``` $ ./ruby -v ruby 3.0.2p107 (2021-07-07 revision 0db68f0233) [universal.x86_64-darwin21] ``` Apple Silicon: ``` $ ./ruby -v Segmentation fault: 11 $ lldb ./ruby (lldb) target create "./ruby" Current executable set to '/Users/crc/ruby' (arm64). (lldb) run Process 77071 launched: '/Users/crc/ruby' (arm64) Process 77071 stopped * thread #1, queue = 'com.apple.main-thread', stop reason = EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0x8) frame #0: 0x00000001002176b8 ruby`ruby_vm_special_exception_copy + 16 ruby`ruby_vm_special_exception_copy: -> 0x1002176b8 <+16>: ldr x0, [x0, #0x8] 0x1002176bc <+20>: bl 0x10011fed8 ; rb_class_real 0x1002176c0 <+24>: bl 0x10012070c ; rb_obj_alloc 0x1002176c4 <+28>: mov x20, x0 Target 0: (ruby) stopped.
